Property developer GuocoLand on Wednesday topped out Tanjong Pagar Centre, its $3.2 billion integrated mixed-use project located above Tanjong Pagar MRT station.
At 290 metres high, the development is set to become the tallest building in Singapore, once completed in mid-2016.
National Development Minister, Lawrence Wong, was the guest-of-honour at the ceremony to mark the important milestone.
The building will integrate 890,000 sq ft of Grade A office space at Guoco Tower, a 100,000 sq ft dynamic lifestyle and F&B component, 181 luxury homes at Wallich Residence, the 222-room Sofitel Singapore City Centre and a 150,000 sq ft landscaped Urban Park.
“Tanjong Pagar Centre makes two key contributions to the Singapore city. It will act as a catalyst in accelerating the rejuvenation and transformation of Tanjong Pagar District into a business and lifestyle hub in the CBD. Additionally, its ‘Integrated Vertical Living’ design concept offers a model for Singapore’s urban future. Through intelligent and sustainable designs, we can still achieve excellent quality of life in a highly-urbanised environment,” said Raymond Choong, President and CEO of GuocoLand Group.
Meanwhile, Channel NewsAsia reported that GuocoLand will start selling the residential units upon the project’s completion. Wallich Residence will house Singapore’s tallest and largest penthouse – a triple floor duplex on levels 62 to 64.
